Star Trek Warp Drive -- Coming Soon to Your Auto Dealer...

Two physicists have a devised a new scheme to travel faster than the speed of light.
In the long running television series created by Gene Roddenberry, the warp drive was invented by Zefram Cochrane, who began his epic project in 2053 in Bozeman, Montana. Now Dr Gerald Cleaver, associate professor of physics at Baylor, and Richard Obousy have come up with a new twist on an existing idea to produce a warp drive that they believe can travel faster than the speed of light, without breaking the laws of physics. Click here for the rest.
Sign me up for the first ship. Perhaps I'll name it Serenity and find me a crew, some work and keep flying.

Swarms of Transformer-style robots to be built!

More than meets the eye comes to your local military...

Scientists aim to create a prototype team of self-organising, shape-changing mini robots that work as a team by 2013.

The self-healing robots will be able to dock with each other, share energy and co-operate to maximise their abilities to achieve different tasks.
